Bucket here – Sage and I walked into this town around noon today. We did not have any definite lodging, but we were able to get rooms at the “Old Sierra Hotel”, which is basically a hiker hotel. We were able to get showers and laundry done, and ate a couple of “town meals” – so it was a good stop. Joy also sent us resupply boxes to the general store across the street.
This week we passed 1100 miles on the trail. Lots of rolling up and down climbs. We’ve been hiking in ski resort country this past week. We actually had lunch at the Donner Ski Ranch at Donner Pass 2 days ago.
It’s getting very hot here and water is becoming more scarce. Not as bad as the dessert was, but we’ll probably have some water carries moving forward.
That’s it for now. I’ve downloaded more photos as well. Thank you to everyone who is following our trek. We love to read your comments.
Ron, The pictures are great. Your beard and that pine cone look awesome. Keep up the good work.

Awesome pictures!!
Well it is good to see pictures of you two. I heard on the news that fires are bad right now. I suppose an angel will appear if you need help. You have a happy retired camper at home. I was surprised when she said it was time. It will be interesting what you and Joy do with your years of retirement. Well Bucket and Sage you are always in my prayers. and I love you very much. you two are awsome
